Jimmy Kimmel made controversial comments regarding the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. On his show "Jimmy Kimmel Live," he accused the "MAGA gang" of trying to politically capitalize on Kirk's murder and suggested that the shooter was being characterized by Trump's supporters as anything other than one of their own for political advantage. Kimmel also criticized former President Donald Trump's reaction to Kirk's death, mocking it as immature and inadequate. His remarks sparked significant backlash, leading ABC to suspend his late-night show indefinitely. The suspension was influenced by broadcaster groups' objections, including criticisms from the Federal Communications Commission chairman, who called Kimmel's comments "offensive and insensitive." Former President Trump celebrated the suspension as a victory and criticized other late-night hosts as well.
